According to the Michigan State Police, troopers responsed to Meijer for the reported assault at 2pm on May 14.

Both individuals exited their vehicles, and an argument ensued. The suspect then allegedly pushed the victim to the ground before driving away. Troopers located the suspect a short time later and arrested him. He was lodged at the Grand Traverse County Jail.

The victim sustained a hip injury and a laceration to his hand. The suspect’s identity will not be released until after arraignment. Troopers were assisted by the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office.
